Can young people afford to care about climate change?

<p>2025 is not a climate election.</p> <p>Young people voted in droves in 2022 for change, in what was dubbed the &lsquo;climate election&rsquo;.</p> <p>Yet new polling shows the number of younger Australians listing climate as their top concern has halved since the last election.</p> <p>In its place, cost of living dominates.</p> <p>TDA unpacks why climate change and the environment have subsided as top concerns for young voters, who are instead focusing on how politicians can help reduce financial stress.</p> <p>Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Emma Gillespie<br />Producer: Orla Maher</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus?
